An Announcement...

That's right: one of them has 16 comments. The one before that has 25 comments. The one before that, 9 comments; and the one before that? Four comments! They're all square numbers!

I am immoderately excited by this!

UPDATE! - This post now has 1 comment: another square number! Hooray for Karen!

UPDATE UPDATE! - In case you've been wondering why I haven't commented myself, this is why.

Often, as my eye rests upon a square-numbered comment box, I think to myself, 'If only it could be this way forever!'

Simple things like this entertain me. I also like colons (of the grammatical type) and hat racks. I once told a completely dull story about a hat rack in New York to Alexis and was bemused when she did not share my excitement.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!- Naturally, this would be the perfect opportunity for a nasty person to leave one comment each in all of the posts below, thus ruining this moment. I trust this nasty person will exercise restraint and forebear from performing this perfidious act.

This is a ruse to tempt people to add further comments, in the false belief that they will be fixing your little wagon good and proper by doing so, when they'll be actually just feeding the monster. Nailpolishblues was right about you!

My mother is in the market for a hat rack right now, but she wants to put bags on it. I do agree with Alexis about the verticals. A horizontal hat rack is too much like a coat rack. Minor things I like about North America: the ready available of clean public fountains, the number of doors that are weighted so you only have to push them slightly.

You wanted the "nasty" person to come in. This is oddly reminiscent of your previous request for insults. I think you don't enjoy the prime moment nearly as much as you enjoy having it snatched away from you!
